I take it you will be putting lights behind each and every port and starboard transparency? After all, her mad dash to fame and glory was done at night time. I think we should make him do it. It should be pretty straightforward. Martian 👽 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nils Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Me vote for lights too 😊 it would have looked good.. (You know it could really had been technically possible, at the point you had the hull split in two halves. Had you by drilled the portholes and made some of them deeper and added optical fibres in some of them and the light source buried in the underside) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rout out a groove in the centre of the hull and then deepen the portholes to meet the grove. Insert LEDs and the jobs a good 'un.

Steve. What by tomorrow afternoon? Really it is a quick fix , a cheap LED set from EvilBay and the fact that the model is in wood will prevent any light pollution Martian 👽 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Um, I only suggested lights as a joke. Steve, what Pandora's Box have I opened for you? Regards to all (and forgiveness from Steve), Jeff. 😁😁🤞 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 Great suggestion about the lights gents and great idea about using the principles of democracy to guide this project, 👍 Last I heard Britmodeller had about 21000 members...so if we get a clear majority- say 12000 valid votes for installed lights, prior to the first application of final-colour paint then I will do it👍🙄 With a smile! 🤬 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Well this one slipped by me! I know diddly squat about ships but I recognise the work of a Skilled Modeller when I see one. I’ll be keeping an eye on this from now on. Trevor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redshift Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I vote against lights, purely on the basis of Steve taking forever and a dy to get anything done! The build is looking good, keep going and ignore the heckling from the back row. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnWS Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 ... and just when I was going to suggest a dab of day glow paint in each porthole, too. Steve, I don't know how you can work with all this noisy chatter in the background. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anticipating such shinanigans please note that the exact criteria I set was ‘12000 valid votes’. I am am unsure whether illegal aliens 👽 are even allowed a single vote - let alone 12000. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Redshift - I hate it when people heckle from the cheap seats. There was a particularly bad case of that recently in a thread regarding Aston Martins. Quite upsetting. 1 hour ago, JohnWS said: Steve, I don't know how you can work with all this noisy chatter in the background.
